I imagine the developers had to make a new URN NID to go with their markup language because they didn't know about tags, or because tags hadn't made it through the IETF process yet. I'd be interested to hear from a NewsML creator on this question. ==== I was one of the editors of the NewsML NID RFC. It was one of the first approved NIDs, and I don't remember that "urn:tag:" or similar had been mentioned at the time. News generates a lot of item IDs, so it was not inappropriate to have a NewsML NID. However, I wouldn't recommend using it for anything other than news. I don't see that it hurts if there is a more generic NID that just happens to have a similar RFC. Just don't copy the mistake in the productions in the NewsML NID RFC. Cheers, Tony. ==== Anthony B.
